Abstract

Objective,2,To study the effect of capsaicin on the improvement of liver and intestinal mucosal lesions in mice with alcoholic liver disease （ALD）， and explore its related mechanisms.,Methods,2,Twenty-four male C57/BL6 mice were randomly divided into the control group， the alcohol group and the alcohol capsaicin group. The mice in the alcohol group and the alcohol capsaicin group were fed with ethanol liquid diet for 4 weeks and gavaged with alcohol to replicate the alcoholic liver disease model. The control group was administered with isocaloric liquid feed. From the 3rd week of modeling， the alcohol capsaicin group was given capsaicin （10 mg/kg body weight） by gavage every other day and three times a week， while the other two groups were given an equal volume of distilled water by gavage. After 4 weeks of modeling， mice in the alcohol group and the alcohol capsaicin group were given 31.5% ethanol by gavage， while the mice in the control group were given 45% dextrin by gavage. The mice were sacrificed 9 hours later， and blood， liver and small intestine tissue samples were collected. Serum alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST） and triglyceride （TG） levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The pathological changes of liver and small intestine mucosa were observed after HE staining. The lipid deposition in the liver was observed by oil red O staining. RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of liver inflammatory factors including tumor necrosis factor-α （,TNF,-,α,）， interleukin 6 （,IL,-,6,）， interleukin 1β （,IL,-,1β,）， small intestinal tissue inflammatory factors including ,TNF,-,α,， ,IL,-,6,， monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 （,MCP,-,1,） and tight junction proteins including ,ZO,-,1,， ,occludin, and ,claudin,-,1,.,Results,2,Compared with the control group， the serum ALT， AST， TG levels and liver mRNA expressions of ,TNF,-,α,， ,IL,-,6,， ,IL,-,1β, were significantly increased in the alcohol group （,P,<,0.05）. HE staining showed that hepatic steatosis and inflammatory cells in the alcohol group was obvious. Oil red staining showed a large number of lipid droplets in the liver cells of the alcohol group. Shortened small intestine villi， epithelial cell edema and increased submucosal inflammatory cell infiltration in the alcohol group were observed by HE staining of small intestine mucosa. Compared with those in the control group， mRNA relative expression of ,TNF,-,α,， ,IL,-,6, and ,MCP,-,1, in the small intestine tissue of mice were increased significantly （,P,<,0.05）， while mRNA relative expression of tight junction protein ,ZO,-,1,， ,occludin, and ,claudin,-,1, were significantly decreased （,P,<,0.01）. Compared with those in the alcohol group， the serum ALT， AST， TG levels and liver mRNA expressions of ,TNF,-,α,， ,IL,-,6,， ,IL,-,1β, in the alcohol capsaicin group were significantly reduced （,P,<,0.05）， hepatic steatosis and intestinal mucosal pathological damage were reduced， mRNA expressions of intestinal mucosal inflammatory factors such as ,TNF,-,α,， ,IL,-,6, and ,MCP,-,1, in the alcohol capsaicin group mice were significantly down-regulated （,P,<,0.05）， while mRNA expressions of tight junction proteins including ,ZO,-,1,， ,occludin,， and ,claudin,-,1, were significantly up-regulated （,P,<,0.01）.,Conclusion,2,Capsaicin has a protective effect on the liver of mice with alcoholic liver disease， and its mechanism of action may be related to the intestinal mucosal barrier protection and intestinal leakage reduction.
